Going abroad to UK or USA

[Dubaiwali]

@X2

in my case staying was less bring in love with the place than being in love with someone who was here plus by the time i got done i realized i had more pals here that i was close to then i had in UK and i was just better adjusted here.

my bros made very opposite decisions, younger bro came here, just like i had planned, did his undergrad, and went back to UK, did his masters there and is happily living and working there,

youngest one was not a fan of US, so did not come here for his undergrad, did that in London, then came to US for masters and then just stayed, although he toyed with the idea of moving back off and on until last year when he decided his career was here and he would be starting from scratch there so why not stay.

paths of ppl like us are very very diff from others…u know, brit childhood, background pak, living in ME..and then moving to yet a whole diff country.

I know, it is different. Even living in Dubai I can feel it, specially if someone asks me where I am from. I always tell them I am British of Pakistani origin, otherwise people get confused later on. I do not have a permanent place of residence in the country I am supposedly from(Britain) so this is why it is hard for me. Well it might be a bit different for me considering I am a girl and I just cannot make the decision of staying forever in USA all on my own. So most probably I will be returning to Dubai after my masters.

Aww ok, so you fell in love with a person from USA!
